Looks good Tom. I had been eyeballing a used one in my size but it sold just as my funds came together…
It’s a great pattern, for sure! With all that diamond-stitched padding and a massive kidney panel like an iron-board, it really should be a pain to wear. Yet, weight-distribution is so good, that you practically don’t feel it all all.
If you can find it in a nice hide (I am thinking the ´old´ comp weight, the veterans are talking about ), you will have a true ˋforever-jacket´.
